The following Safety Alert Symbols are used
in this manual. They are used to alert you
to potential personal injury hazards. Obey
all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible serious injury or death. This Safety Alert
Symbol precedes any safety message about risk of
personal injury. It may also be accompanied by one
of the following signal words.
If the information in these instructions is not
followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result,
causing property damage, personal injury or death.
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation that if not
avoided will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation that if not
avoided could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that
if not avoided could result in minor or moderate
injury.
NOTICE
Indicates information considered important but
not hazard-related (such as property damage).
DANGER
If you smell gas:
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switches or use
landline phones.
From a neighbor's phone, call your gas
provider and follow their instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas provider, call the
fire department.
Do not use or store flammable products,
such as gasoline, solvents, or adhesives in
the same room or area as the water heater.
The water heater has a main burner flame
that can turn on at any time and can ignite
flammable vapors. Vapors from flammable
liquids can explode and catch fire, causing
death or severe burns.
Vapors cannot be seen and are heavier than
air. They can travel long distances along the
ground and can be carried from other rooms
to the water heater's main burner flame by air
current.
Keep all flammable products far away from
the water heater and store them in approved
containers. Keep the containers closed tightly
and out of the reach of children and pets.
